BEFORE THE BREATH OF STORM.

Before the breath Of STERN,
While ye. the long, bright afternoons are warm,
Under this stainless arch of azure sky
The ar Is filed with gathering wings for fight,
Yet with the shrifl nirth and loud delight
Comes the foreboding sorrow Of this cry
Til the storm scatter and the gloom dispei
Farewell, Farewell FAREWELL
Why VIII We go So soon,
In these soft hours this sweeter month than June
The liquid air floats over field and tree,
A veil Of dreams-where do We find the stipss
A gold enehantment sleeps upon the SEA
And parpled hills-why have We taken wings
Bat faint, far heard the answers fall and swell
Farewell, Farewell! FAREWELL

Three PecuIIarities

Hoods Sarsaparilla, the great blood purifier
and regulating medicine, Is characterized by
three peculiarities, namely:
The Dallas daily herald. [volume] (Dallas, Tex.) 1873-1887, 1887-06-23

Simpson, took the first premium on
the grand sweepstakes. We have not
seen an account OF Sandy's feeding
yet, but presume II will be given to
the public in due time, The fact that
he was awarded the first premium,
as the best animal in the show,
shows the change that has
been gradually going on during the
last few yearg. But short time ago,
the meaty short.horn was almost
without rival among candidates for
the shambles. 1t easily carried of all
the premiums. A few years since we
were all astonished to hear that q
Hereford had carried of the first pre-
MUM. But the general conclusion
was that the short-horn had. been
caught mapping and that, probably,
the Hereford would never be able to
repeat the trick. He did, however,
and has done so more than once, I'M
til prestige, enjoyed. for many years,
by the short-horn, is gone.
But the Hereford is not left to enjoy,
alone, his position ofrival of the short
horn. For two or three years the
small, compact, glossy-black haired
native OF the north, the hornless
Aberdeen-Angus. has been coming
to the front, and by the reports OF the
last exhibition. we perceive he has got
there, and is awarded by the judges
the position OF best beeve on the
ground. He was not heavy weight,
only1, 1856 pounds, although he had
been growing more than two and a
half years, to be exact 039 days.
His superior merit consisted in the
fact that during all that time he had
averaged daily increase in weight oil
nearly two pounds-1.97. Sam Jones,
q Hereford steer, exhibited by Fowler
& VanHatta, had gained $50 pounds
day, but he had lived but 32l days.
Othsr young animals had averaged a
daily gain OF over two pounds, but
no other one had sustained such a
large average for so long q time. 1t
has been established, by repeated ex.
periments, that beef cattle gain the
fastest the first year, next the sec
ond year, and 80 on, their daily gain
declining with advancing years. This
would seem to show the economy OF
fattening cattle young, at from one
to two years OF age.

The Woman Who Laughs.

For good, everyday household
angel give us the woman who laughs.
Her. biscuits may not be always just
right, and she may occasionally
burn her bread and forget to replace
dislocated buttons, but Tor solid COM
fort all day and every day she is a
very paragon. Home is not q battle
field, nor life one long amending row.
The trick OF always seeing the bright
side, or, il the matter has no bright
side, OF shining up the dark one, is a
very important faculty; one OF the
things no woman should be without.
We are not all born with the sunshine

President Albert Keep.

From the Chicago Mail
Presidett Albert keep made his mon
ey in WATERFOWL, Wis. He did not
build railroads, either, or take up
vast tracts OF land, or develop the
iron mines. He kept general
store, and sold anything and every
thing farmer wanted, from a clothes.
pin to q carload of machinery. Itnev.
err made any difference what he got in
,return-wbether "shoebox" butter,
or grain or ready money tall turned
out the same in the end, and got final.
,ly in the Keep strong box in the shape
OF cash. The Pecks, whose estate was
so large that all their children are
lmillionaires. were partners OF Keep
in the Watertown general country
store. Another brother, Henry Keep,
was banker in central New York,
and had, his country banks over hall
the Stats. He was also a big Wall
street operaror. one OF the biggest and
most daring Oft those days. The Keeps
made their ten-stidke when Mahlon
Ogden, the then President OF the
Northwestern, sold out his North.
western stock at 20. The price looked
so high to the man, who had gotten
the stock for practically nothing that
he could not resist the temptation to
realize. 1t went into the strong box
of the Keeps-Henry and Albert-and
never left it until the money had
quadrupled. Keep became the head
OF the road which his brother had
done so much to advance on com.
promise. The Vanderbilts had
bought into it until they had become
the largest single holders. They did
not like the methods OF the Western
plungers, Keep, Tracy, and the Others,
who had developed the property.
They wanted q man at the head who
would not have quite the same old
love for railroad fights and railroad
extensions, and who would devote
himself to money-making and divi-
dend-paying. Albert Keep was final
ly taken as compromise between
the Vanderbilts and the old-time in.
terests. The result has proved the
Vanderbilt saeacity.
